It is, however, even more effective against unshielded infantry targets, being able to kill most targets in one shot to the head or two to three shots to the body.

The M6D is semi-automatic. This means that gun will cock itself after every shot due to recoil and will continue to do so until the magazine is empty. The M6D also uses the short recoil principle; it uses the force of the recoil to eject the spent casing, chamber another cartridge, and re-cock.

Before the first round can be fired, a round must be chambered. This is done by inserting a loaded magazine into the grip of the weapon and then by pulling the slide back completely and letting it slingshot forward, which takes a round from the top of the magazine and carry it into the chamber. There is a small, red rectangular box on the flat back of the slide that protrudes out slightly when the weapon is cocked. ~~In Halo 3~~, the ~~animation when equipping the pistol shows the~~ safety ~~being taken off~~.

There is no visible safety on the in-game model; however, it can be assumed that the M6D comes with a safety as it is a standard UNSC handgun.

To reload, the empty magazine must be removed with the magazine release button located on the grip and a fresh magazine inserted. Once the fresh magazine is inserted, the same loading procedure is repeated. If a round is left in the chamber when the new magazine is inserted, it is unnecessary to pull back the slide again.

The M6D is a very basic pistol compared to most 26th century technology. It is a large handgun, having an overall length of 26.7cm and possesses a rifled barrel, improving accuracy by spinning the bullet. It is chrome silver in color and operates like most modern day pistols. It also has rear sights but it does not posses any iron sights due to the scope. It features a KFA-2 2x optical, smart-linked scope. This scope links directly to a [[Spartan]]’s [[HUD]] or a Marine eye piece. It also has a large grip guard, which helps prevent the user from dropping it and a chrome barrel which helps prevent corrosion. It does not possess any company identification.
